Are you an avid fan of Marvel Comic Superheroes?  If you are or even if you're not, you must be familiar with one it's famous character "Spider-Man", the one who wears this famous red and blue suit.

Are you sad when Peter Parker got killed by Goblin Green at the "Ultimate Spider-Man" issue last June?



Don't be sad anymore because Marvel Comics released just yesterday, August 3, 2011 a new issue entittled "Ultimate Comics Fall-out" featuring it's new biracial Spidey, Miles Morales. According to it's official website, the new comics hit the shelves yesterday upon the debut release of Miles as the new Spider-Man icon.

What makes him biracial? 
It's because he is a mild-mannered half-Black and half-Latino teen. Not the usual Caucasian skinned Spidey that we used to have.

Where this new Spidey came from?
Miles is a teenager that hills from Brooklyn. He lives with his parents.

What does this new Spidey got?
Miles will take us to a new level of adventure that fits the pop culture of the twenty-first century era. According to Alex Alonso, Marvel Editor-In-Chief,  he has a diverse background and experience that makes him unique and worthy of the name Spider-Man.

Are you starting fall in love with this new Spider-Man icon? 
For sure everybody is excited for the new adventures of Miles that will surely let the readers  fall in  love with the character  the way the Peter Parker does to his readers.

But there's a question that was raised in the Marvel official website (www.marvel.com):

Will there be an Asian Spider-Man icon in the future Marvel comics issue?
Well, hopefully there is. Asians will surely be glad to have an Asian Spider-Man image. That will be awesome and amazing for every Asian Spider-Man fanatic.
